A series of wines that present the best of Portugal in a contemporary style. The grapes are harvested with the utmost care at optimal ripeness, and quality is strictly controlled at the winery.

After crushing and pressing, the juice undergoes fermentation, after which the wine finally ages for 18 months in French oak barrels.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis is a collaborative project between Rita Marquès and Marc Kent.
